Featured Article: Vogue Italia 2012 Covers Recap

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. That’s how we put the collaboration between photographer Steven Meisel and Vogue Italia that has been going strong for more than 20 years and still counting.

Sometimes they created magic on the covers (i.e the April issue with models Aaron Vernon, Chrystal Copland, Ethan James, Lyle Lodwick, Thairine Garcia and Sojourner Morell; September issue with Carolyn Murphy, and December with Vanessa Axente and Marlon Teixeira), sometimes they created something that’s so dull even though they tapped a great cover star (we are looking at you Mrs. Isabella Rossellini). And they certainly really knows how to liven up the hype, as the current IT model Kate Upton landed one of the most coveted cover slots in the world of fashion publication.

Vogue Italia combined top famous names in modeling industry with the rising newbies as their 2012 cover girls. They mixed runway regulars and veterans Caroline Trentini, Daria Strokous, Joan Smalls, Linda Evangelista, Jamie Bochert, Meghan Collison with promising new crop of girls such as Laura Kampman, Mackenzie Drazan, and Vanessa Axente (she got the honor to be featured twice last year!).

Vogue Italia always came up with something different from the other Vogue editions, and we respect that. Especially the minimalist text on the cover. Franca Sozzani already made history this year as she chose Fei Fei Sun as the magazine’s first ever Asian cover girl! We are looking forward to see what Franca will bring in 2013.

Kate Upton for Vogue Italia November 2012

Lots of people doesn’t really get Kate Upton‘s appeal on high fashion, but seems like fashion editors are trusting the young sexy 20-year-old American model that she can do high fashion jobs.

She landed the cover of Carine Roitfeld‘s new magazine, going to the MET Gala earlier this year (some said she paid tons of money to be in the prestigious event..), got featured on Vogue US, and now, probably her wildest dream come true, the coveted cover slot of Vogue Italia (her first Vogue cover)! What next, Ms.Upton? A Vogue US cover?

Anyway, for the cover that was styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele and photographed by Steven Meisel, Kate Upton is wearing a Patricia Field bustier and Fendi fur. Her bombshell tresses was done by Oribe, while the make up was the works of Pat McGrath.
